Hey there, Path of Exile fans! Grab a seat (and maybe a snack) because we're about to dive into the first week of POE 3.23 Affliction teasers. Now, usually, Grinding Gear Games (GGG) floods us with hints 19 days before a new league. But this time, they're mixing things up, leaving us with just a few crumbs. So, let's wrap up this teaser week, which, spoiler alert, is gonna be a quick one!

 

• Trials of the Ancestors Items Going Legacy
• Last Call for Core Supporter Packs & Kirac's Vault Pass
• Shaden Disciple Supporter Packs
• Physical Goods Update
• POE2 Teaser Trailer 

 

↖ Trials of the Ancestors Items Going Legacy

First up, GGG dropped some news about the Trials of the Ancestors mechanic. The verdict? The items are going legacy, meaning they won't be a core part of the game moving forward. Certain uniques will join the core drop pool, but those closely tied to ancestor-specific mechanics (like the tattoos) are out. This shift might make things a bit chaotic in the standard league.

 

↖ Last Call for Core Supporter Packs & Kirac's Vault Pass

Heads up, collectors! The Core Supporter Packs and the current Kirac's Vault Pass are wrapping up soon. If you've been eyeing them, now's your chance to grab them before they're gone. But don't sweat too much – GGG is likely to replace them with something equally awesome soon.

 

↖ Shaden Disciple Supporter Packs

Good news for those who missed out: the Shade and Disciple Supporter Packs, launched in patch 3.22, are sticking around for another league. So, you've still got time to snag them!

 

↖ Physical Goods Update

For the merch fans, there's been a bit of drama with the physical goodies from the Core Packs – like the Searing Exarch hoodies. Some folks faced delays and issues, thanks to the subcontractor GGG used shutting down. But don't worry, GGG's on the case, sorting through the backlog.

 

↖ POE2 Teaser Trailer 

And now, the star of the show: a brand-spanking- new teaser trailer for Path of Exile 2! It's short but sweet, showcasing a character strafing backward while firing an automatic crossbow. It's more of a sneak peek than a reveal-all, but it's definitely got the community buzzing. You can catch this epic moment and the POE2 logo in the teaser. No hidden secrets or new items, just a straightforward, tantalizing glimpse into what's ahead.

 

That's pretty much it for week one – short and sweet. We're all hoping week two brings back the usual flurry of teasers. Remember, the live stream trailer is just around the corner, and you bet we'll be covering that in detail right here. We might even do a live reaction on Twitch, followed by a deep dive on YouTube. Stay tuned, and let's hope for some interesting reveals next week!
